SO ME: I hope that guy gets at least 50% of Ed Banger’s profits

I’m sure every one is familiar with So Me. He’s the dude who does the ART for all things Ed Banger. So whether it’s the breakthrough video for “D.A.N.C.E.” or the “DVNO” video, it’s pretty evident that So Me’s a pretty effective artist.

Anyways, maybe you had heard about his studio show in Toronto.

Here’s a picture of So Me between two portraits of Ed Banger Records’ most popular act, JUSTICE.

Some could argue that SO ME is the best party & concert flier-maker of our generation

I’m one of the most critical people in the world, but is it safe to say that SO ME’s work is extremely visually and conceptually satisfying?

He even made a tattoo for Uffie

Sometimes I wonder if SO ME should leave Ed Banger Records, and work for only Fortune 500 companies.

As demonstrated by the video made for Justice’s “DVNO,” his corporate identity skills are second to none.

And remember that time Kanye West had SO ME make a video for him after Kanye got really into Justice & Daft Punk?

SO ME: Better Than Warhol?
SO ME: Will he ever leave Ed Banger test the market as a free agent?
SO ME: Should Pixar offer him a lifetime contract?
SO ME: Are you happy that he’s not just teaching After Effects classes at an Art College?
SO ME: Will he ever make an animated pornography scene?
SO ME: Should the United Nations enact a law that only lets SO ME make graphic tshirts for the next decade?

    “SO ME: Will he ever leave Ed Banger test the market as a free agent?”

    I don’t think Pedro would even let him leave…he’d be a fool to do so anyways.

    So_Me: how about the ‘Always be Alone’ cover for Simian he did about West, that was class.

    So_Me Kills.

    SO ME. he draws, he designs, he makes music videos, he DJs, he makes people famous, his art is social commentary… maybe instead of comparing him to our generation’s andy warhol, we should take it a step further and compare him to da vinci. jack of all trades, master of ALL

    So Me is good, don’t get me wrong, but he definitely steals the spotlight in certain aspects. Justice’s D.A.N.C.E. video and Kanye’s Good Life were drawn up by So Me, but the video and animations were brought to life by 2 directors named Jonas and Francois (same with the Ed Rec Vol 2 snippet with the animated album sleeves.)

    http://www.elnino.tv/

    Same with the DVNO video. The idea is so fucking great. So Me is a visual sampler. BUT, MachineMolle actually did the 3D and motion animation for the video.

    http://machinemolle.com/

    Again, don’t get me wrong, So Me is killing shit right now. But as a designer myself I hate it when work goes uncredtited.

    definitely with brian savage on that one. jonas and francois did the animating/direction for the ed banger vol. 2 promo video too. so me is great, but never figured out how much he actually animates.

    graphic design wise though i really like him, he knows how to work cultural references.
